New National Left, the alternative candidate to Oriol Junqueras, backtracks and withdraws the amendments they requested. Limit the term of the Republican president and separate the party presidency from institutional positionsThe texts were to be debated and voted on at the party congress being held this weekend in Martorell, because the leadership had refused to negotiate any compromise. This would have highlighted the clash between Junqueristas and critics. In a statement, the candidacy, led by Xavier Godàs and Alba Camps, explains that the leadership committed to opening this debate during "this term" to address these two issues "in depth." The amendments were debated in the territorial assemblies of recent days, but were only accepted in the Valencian Country.

Critics of Oriol Junqueras will also present a battle in the second phase of the ERC congress. Nueva Izquierda Nacional, the candidacy of Xavier Godàs and Alba Camps, has presented a battery of amendments to make changes to the reports written by the leadership. The most notable is the one that will try to set limits on the term of the current president of the party, which critics want to place at the end of the current mandate, in principle in 2029. With the current statutes in hand, Junqueras, who is on his way to fourteen years as president of Esquerra, could continue doing so until 2040 if the membership continued to give it confidence. Foc Nou, the candidacy that came third in the internal consultation under the leadership of Helena Solà and Alfred Bosch, has put forward a similar proposal.
